Brake pad replacement is one of the more common brake repairs, but it's worth understanding what's actually involved before booking your car in.
Why pads wear out
Brake pads are a wear component, gradually thinning each time the brakes are applied. How quickly they wear depends on the vehicle, driving style and conditions.
What happens during replacement
- The wheels are removed to access the braking system
- The existing pads and callipers are inspected
- Worn pads are replaced with new ones
- The discs are checked at the same time
- The system is tested before the vehicle is returned
Why the discs get checked too
Since pads and discs work together, it makes sense to check disc condition whenever pads are being replaced, even though the two don't always need replacing at the same time.
